What causes a solution to a rational equation to be an extraneous solution?

Extraneous solution:

An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all

So, firstly we will solve for the equation

and then we verify each solutions by plugging them back

If denominator of rational equation becomes zero , then that solution must be extraneuous solution

For example:

\frac{1}{x+3} +\frac{2}{x} =-\frac{3}{x(x+3)}

we can solve for x

Multiply both sides by x(x+3)

\frac{1}{x+3}x\left(x+3\right)+\frac{2}{x}x\left(x+3\right)=-\frac{3}{x\left(x+3\right)}x\left(x+3\right)

now, we can simplify it

x+2\left(x+3\right)=-3

x+2x+6=-3

3x=-9

now, we can solve for x

x=-3

now, we can check whether x=-3 is extraneous solution

we will plug back x=-3 into original

\frac{1}{-3+3} +\frac{2}{-3} =-\frac{3}{-3(-3+3)}

\frac{1}{0} +\frac{2}{-3} =-\frac{3}{-3(0)}

we can see that denominator becomes 0

so, x=-3 can not be solution

so, x=-3 is extraneous solution...........Answer

Serga [27]

Answer:

The z-score when x=187 is 2.41. The mean is 187. This z-score tells you that x = 187 is 2.41 standard deviations above the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

\mu = 152, \sigma = 14.5

The z-score when x=187 is ...

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{187 - 152}{14.5}

Z = 2.41

The z-score when x=187 is 2.41. The mean is 187. This z-score tells you that x = 187 is 2.41 standard deviations above the mean.

2 right triangles have identical angle measures but different side lengths. The first triangle has side lengths of 6, 10, 8 and
musickatia [10]

Answer:

The transformation is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of the second triangle is just half the length of the first triangle, from the center. As it is just resizing, the angles would not change, resulting in the same triangle, except for size.
